Core i3-6100 vs Athlon X4 950 specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon X4 950 is faster than the Core i3-6100. Despite this, the Core i3-6100 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
With info from our database, we find that the Athlon X4 950 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-6100 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-6100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon X4 950. A Core i3-6100 CPU outputs less heat than a Athlon X4 950 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Athlon X4 950 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-6100
Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i3-6100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
